I disagree.

I think children need to be told the truth, in an age appropriate way.

Since they are being bombarded with pro-homosexual crap in GRADE SCHOOL now, this book provides a humorous WONDERFUL opportunity to put a few conservative values on the table for young ones to ponder.

There's also another difference. The fact that kids must hear that nonsense in the public schools isn't analogous to having the book read to them. Parents can choose whether to buy the book or not; they can choose to read it or not. It's a little harder to choose curriculum for your children if they're in the public school system. I worry about those who trust public school educators over parents.

Most adults are probably buying this book for themselves, anyway.

I agree with your disagree.

I was sacked by the richest private school in the nation because I explained to my sixth graders that our social security system was a ponzi scheme.
No matter that Milton Friedman, Nobel prize winner in economics, said exactly the same thing in his book, Free to Choose.
Tried to tell my kids to save for their own future and not rely on the government. That resulted in the charge of being anti-government.

You cannot totally divorce politics in explaining our system of government. The most insidious and corrosive force in our culture today is the PC movement and its MSM enablers. Any word can be turned inside-out and against you. The PC movement has silenced passionate debate and original thought.
The programing of our children is the first step in the death of individuality and free thought.
